Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

If you want to talk about salt merchants, which place is the craziest, that is Lianghuai, the land of Jiangnan

! This is a gathering place where gentry and official and business interest groups gather

! Zhu Cihong suddenly smiled, he had to go to this place, but instead of leaving, after arranging all the affairs of the capital, he personally went to Jiangnan for a walk.

Of course, it's the kind that leads the troops for a walk!"

Zhu Cihong turned around and walked down the attic, and walked towards the two Huixian Courtyards when he got out of the restaurant.

"Yo, President Jiang!" "President Jiang

, I'll have a drink later." "

Jiang will be early!"

"Morning!" As

soon as everyone came out, there were many guests, and the workers greeted Jiang Ming, and the smiles of the guests were the meaning of friendship, and the workers were all respectful smiles.

No one expected that at this moment, it seemed that Jiang Ming, who was respected, was still in the attic a moment ago and was panicking at the young man beside him, but everyone didn't know who this young man was.

Although Jiang Ming slowed down Zhu Cihong by one position, everyone didn't notice this, and they all thought that they were pulling new guests, after all, what about the VIP card of one hundred taels of silver, Jiang Ming walked behind the guests normally, doing business, that's it.

"President Jiang is here!" "President Jiang is early!" As

soon as he entered the Huixian Courtyard, the old bustard inside walked over quickly to greet him, and a group of graceful women behind him greeted him one after another, after all, Jiang Ming was their big boss, so he was naturally very stammered.

"Yo, these guests are ......"

The old bustard's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the difference between Zhu Cihong and others, these people are by no means ordinary people, that temperament, at first glance, they are the children of the nobility, it is very likely that someone in the family is a high-ranking official in the court.

However, those who can come in here are not ordinary people, but the nobility of these people is extraordinarily introverted, and if they are not people who have seen the world for a long time, they will not be able to see it.

"Busy with your business, these nobles, I will entertain you.

Jiang Ming waved his hand, and then took Zhu Cihong and the others directly to the highest floor.

Everyone came to the balcony, Zhu Cihong looked at the open space behind him, and said directly: "Buy it, give these residents preferential prices, and then expand this place to a hook fence, the appearance of the stage remains the same, find a martial artist to compete, sell martial arts tickets, bet, do you understand the meaning of the palace?" Zhu Cihong

was quite satisfied with the back garden, but still wanted to add a thing that could stimulate consumption more, so he thought of the venue that didn't need to be too big, but it was a very passionate project, boxing!

Originally, he wanted to engage in a horse farm and bet on horses, but the required field was too big to accommodate it, and the horses in the horse farm, the jockey to cultivate, also took time, not cost-effective, or boxing is simpler.

"The villain understands.

Jiang Ming thought about it for a while, and then figured out the fun, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, this is much more high-end than playing passion in the gambling house, at least there is no need to squeeze together with those messy people in the gambling house.

"How much grain is stored in Shanxi now?"

Zhu Cihong returned to the room and sat down, pointed to the chair beside him, and motioned for Jiang Ming to sit down and speak.

"Back to Your Highness, this year's harvest in Shanxi is okay, plus the grain from the Department of Agriculture, there are already one million stone of grain.

Jiang Ming was half of his butt on the chair, and he didn't dare to sit down.

"Do you know, how to become the biggest grain merchant in the Ming Dynasty?" asked

Zhu Cihong.

"This ...... Buy a lot of food, hoard grain, and then wait for the shortage of grain in the market, at this time, we are the merchants with the most grain, and then sell it at a high price, and then make a lot of money, and then change places to do this?"

Jiang Ming thought for a while, and then said what he knew.

Zhu Cihong shook his head.

"The villain doesn't know any other way.

Jiang Ming smiled a little embarrassedly.

"What you are talking about is just a small road of profiteering, what this palace wants is to control the market, not to destroy the market.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

"The villain is not talented, please give advice to His Highness.

Jiang Ming felt that His Highness was omnipotent, at least when it came to business.

"How much grain do you think the grain merchants in Shanxi can eat?" asked

Zhu Cihong.

"Now that the Longmen Chamber of Commerce has taken over all the industries of the eight companies in Shanxi, it is already the largest grain merchant, and the rest of the merchants can eat up to 200,000 stone of grain.

Jiang Ming thought about it and said a rough idea.

"Okay, listen.

"First release 300,000 stone of grain, dump it below the market price and sell it to those grain merchants, and when these merchants hoard grain and have no cash in their hands, you can make an IOU and add interest." "

Then, a large amount of grain sold to grain merchants hit the Shanxi market, at this time, the price of grain, is already two points lower, grain merchants do not sell, grain smashed in their hands, sell, to press the price a little lower than when they received grain before, but a little higher than the market price you control now, plus, if there is a greedy IOU, then directly lose money.

"If there is no money to pay, they will collect the grain, collect the field, or be merciful, sign an agreement, and in the future, all the grain in their fields will be sold to the Longmen Chamber of Commerce at a wholesale price, and they are not allowed to sell it privately."

"After this operation, those grain merchants will basically be abolished, and the grain in Shanxi will be completely controlled by the Longmen Chamber of Commerce.

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, which he also learned from international businessmen, and now the grain is controlled in the hands of the landlords and gentry, which makes Daming very passive, so the Longmen Chamber of Commerce is the capital he wants to support, control the market, control food and prices.

In fact, if you want to engage in salt merchants, you can do this, but there is no need, because Daming is a monopoly on salt, so there is no need to be so troublesome, just a will to go down.

But food is free, so play a trick.

"Wonderful

, high!" Jiang Ming is very smart, after thinking for a while, he can understand the mystery of this, it is definitely much smarter than buying and hoarding goods in large quantities and then selling them at a high price, hoarding goods is to make a wave, this is to control everything!"

"First control Shanxi, then Beizhili, then Jiangnan, Lianghuai, and finally even the whole country."

Zhu Cihong stood up and said his ideals: "This palace wants me to let the people of the Ming Dynasty not starve to death, everyone has food, everyone can buy food, and everyone can make money." "

Your Highness, the Eternal Emperor!" everyone

was infected when they heard this.

......

"Your Highness!" As

soon as Zhu Cihong and his party came out of the Longmen Department Store, Jiang Xuezhu chased them out.

She came to Zhu Cihong's car and said aggrievedly: "Doesn't His Royal Highness like Xiaoxue and wants to drive me out of the palace."

"Isn't it good to let you be free outside, besides, aren't we all still in the capital, the same place, we can meet from time to time when we have time, that's all."

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he got into the car, and then drove towards the criminal department.

He sat in the car and smiled bitterly, although he thought this little girl was cute, but he didn't think about turning her into a makeup concubine in front of the East Palace.

"Qiu Zhizhong, tomorrow I will go to the Shangshi Bureau to pick a few cooks to the East Palace, it is best to be a newcomer who has no one to recommend, and if you have a clean family background, you will be strictly screened and reviewed, and you will be added to May 21. "

There are still people in the kitchen of this East Palace, and Zhu Cihong doesn't want to eat the things of Shang Shanjian.

"Chen Fengying see His Royal Highness the Prince. In

the lobby of the Criminal Department, Feng Ying stood respectfully below.

"Dolgon, Yue Tuo, Haoge, Abatai, and the four of them were immediately pulled out to parade through the streets of the capital, and then posted the evil deeds of the Qing army entering the customs this time, and after the parade was over, they were immediately beheaded!" Zhu

Cihong said, and then ordered: "Pass the soldiers Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Mao Yuanyi of the War Bureau." "

Command!" Feng

Ying immediately retreated.

Zhu Cihong plans to reopen the post station, this post station can be profitable, not only used to transmit military information, but also to the express delivery industry, but some things have to be cut, for example, free accommodation for officials, carriages and horses, Chongzhen feels that the post station costs money, and feels that it is the problem of the wages of the people below, but it is actually free for officials, resulting in too serious extravagance and waste, which is where money is consumed.

"Ministers Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Mao Yuanyi see His Royal Highness the Prince. After

a while, the three of them walked in.

"Lu Xiangsheng, you don't have to go back to Shanxi, you continue to serve as the governor of Jiliao, defend the border passes, especially the few places where

the Qing army entered the customs several times before and after, and strictly defend them!" Zhu Cihong said, and said: "The Qing army entered the customs four times, and it was able to break through the defense line so easily, which is enough to show how loose the defense here is, you used to strictly train the border guards, and those who did not obey the rules and disobeyed discipline, including the general soldiers, were all dealt with by military law!"

The flag of the king's order can be cut first and then played!"

Zhu Cihong said, and handed over the booklet with the golden seal of the prince of the East Palace to Qiu Zhizhong.

"The minister commands!" Lu

Xiangsheng immediately knelt down and took the order.

"Mao Yuanyi, now the palace wants you to use troops to guard the security of the Ming Dynasty, are you ready?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Mao Yuanyi.

"Weichen is on standby at any time!" Mao

Yuanyi said immediately.

"Let Mao Yuanyi be the post of the chief soldier of Shanxi, command all the officers and soldiers in Shanxi, and guard Shanxi from being invaded by thieves!" Zhu

Cihong took out another booklet, handed it to Qiu Zhizhong, and handed it over, and transferred Lu Xiangsheng to Jiliao to garrison the border, and Shanxi was vacant, so he thought of Mao Yuanyi.

"Thanks!" Mao

Yuanyi immediately knelt down excitedly to accept the order.

"Lu Xiangsheng, you transfer 10,000 soldiers to Mao Yuanyi to Shanxi, and you take nearly 30,000 people to the border, it should be enough.

Zhu Cihong looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

"It's completely enough, please rest assured, Your Highness.

Lu Xiangsheng assured, saying that this is still rare to bring so many soldiers at once, and his heart is also a little moved, His Royal Highness trusts him very much.
